plot line was horrible and through out the whole the anime you never could get attached to any of the charactors. By the end of it you where left with a very dissatisfying ending that left you say....huhhh?? just don't watch it and if you don't believe me just look up other youtube reviews and what not....horrible anime :( and this is coming from someone who has watched about 75 different animes.

Glasslip may be classified as an experimental series as it is quite artistic. By “artistic” think on abstract modern art rather than beauty. The background & scenes are incredibly pleasant, but the story goes in quite different ways than all other anime series in a way that have disappointed many anime fans and critics. Glasslip is definitively not for the average anime fan. The plot is –in short- about a girl (Toko Fukami) living in a small town named Hinodehama where she enjoys a nice life surrounded by friends, family and learns the trade on making glass at her parent’s business. Next, Kakeru Okikura, a new guy in town arrives and romance begins. All of these themes have turned the massive audiences off as they seek action, goriness and more nonsense. Yet, more audience still had to be turned off because these series are also nonsensical in their own way, in an artistic way. Glasslip has some sort of fantasy, which might not be actual fantasy, just insanity of Toko and Kakeru seeing visions. The end seems to imply that the fantasy was real (within the show of course) but it never clarifies the issue. It felt like they tried to make a series like "Air", a hit in Japan.

Though it's not one of my favorites, it is still a fun anime to watch. I love the style of it and the characters.
